00:00We'll be back in just a few minutes.

00:03Quack, quack, the ducks get it done 32 to 31 over Ohio State.

00:08Was this the Heisman moment for Dylan Gabriel passing for two touchdowns,

00:12putting up monster numbers in the box score and runs one into the house there as well?

00:17Totally, you know, and I think we talked about it last Saturday night as well.

00:22Really a lot came down to how do you perform in games of this magnitude?

00:27Oregon, you guys remember in September, some surprising close calls.

00:32Idaho, Boise State before we really were sure what Boise State was going to be this year.

00:37Oregon did not look like a top five team.

00:40But again, this was a Herculean victory for the Ducks.

00:45Ohio State, I believe, is the most talented roster out of any team in the FBS.

00:50They spent $20 million in the offseason in NIL money to attract this roster.

00:56They get Chip Kelly from formerly Oregon and UCLA and the Philadelphia Eagles

01:01to be the offensive coordinator.

01:03Even though this game was at Alton, a win of this magnitude is massive for Oregon,

01:08massive for Dylan Gabriel.

01:10He looked like a veteran.

01:11I love the poise in the pocket.

01:13I love his accuracy on deep balls to Evan Stewart and Tez Johnson.

01:18I thought he was terrific.

01:19Listen, I thought Will Howard played really well also.

01:22I know at the end of the game he lost track of time management.

01:25He slid when the clock was running out when maybe there would have been a shot

01:28for a long field goal.

01:30I thought both of these quarterbacks played well.

01:32But right now it's got to be Dylan Gabriel.

01:34And Ashton Jeanty has been an absolute locomotive.

01:38He's going to go over 2,000 yards this year.

01:40But I'm just not sure if Heisman voters are going to champion a kid who plays week in

01:45and week out against Mountain West competition.
